Article Abstract:

The collection of refuse reflects the sanitary standards of a municipality. Refuse collectors are faced with numerous work hazards such as injuries and illnesses. The risks involved in refuse collection can be prevented by maintaining and following standards of refuse collection, refuse containers and collection vehicles. Training of collectors should also be conducted to impart the safety guidelines of refuse collection. Health provisions should be implemented and the workers should be provided with personal protective equipment for use during collection.

Bechtel zeroes in on safety

Article Abstract:

Bechtel Corp. attaches great importance to workers' safety. The company, which posted its best safety record in 1995 after almost a century in the construction business, instituted a Zero-Accidents Process in mid-1992 as part of its efforts to eliminate injuries at its construction sites and office facilities. Bechtel's focus on safety has not only led to an improved safety record, but has enhanced its competitiveness and helped the company save money.
